    Jena M. Griswold Colorado Secretary of State

    Jena M. Griswold Colorado Secretary of State July 28, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell Senator Charles E. Schumer Senator Richard C. Shelby Senator Patrick J. Leahy Senator Roy Blunt Senator Amy Klobuchar Dear Senators: As Secretaries of State of both major political parties who oversee the election systems of our respective states, we write in strong support of additional federal funding to enable the smooth and safe administration of elections in 2020. The stakes are high. And time is short. The COVID-19 pandemic is testing our democracy. A number of states have faced challenges during recent primary elections. Local administrators were sometimes overwhelmed by logistical problems such as huge volumes of last-minute absentee ballot applications, unexpected shortages of poll workers, and difficulty of procuring and distributing supplies. As we anticipate significantly higher voter turnout in the November General Election, we believe those kinds of problems could be even larger. The challenge we face is to ensure that voters and our election workers can safely participate in the election process. While none of us knows what the world will look like on November 3rd, the most responsible posture is to hope for the best and plan for the worst. The plans in each of our states depend on adequate resources. While we are truly grateful for the resources that Congress made available in the CARES Act for election administration, more funding is critical. Current funding levels help to offset, but do not cover, the unexpectedly high costs that state and local governments face in trying to administer safe and secure elections this year.

Maggie Toulouse Oliver, NM 575 7th Street NW Treasurer Washington, D.C. 20004 Hon. Steve Simon, MN Secretary Dear Ms. Guidarini: Hon. Connie Lawson, IN Immediate Past President On behalf of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), I would like to thank you for your willingness to work with the Secretaries Hon. Denise Merrill, CT Eastern Region Vice President of State, election directors and other important stakeholders to address misinformation and disinformation on your platforms related to the Hon. Tre Hargett, TN elections process. We believe significant progress has been made to Southern Region Vice President understand and address these issues. As we move into 2019 and the 2020 Hon. Jay Ashcroft, MO general election, we urge Facebook to further engage on the following Midwestern Region Vice President issues: Hon. Alex Padilla, CA Western Region Vice President First, the elections community faced many challenges as a result of Facebook’s use of a non-government, third-party site to prompt Hon. Al Jaeger, ND Member-at-Large (NPA) users to register to vote. We instead encourage Facebook to either connect directly to the chief state election webpages, state online voter Hon. Matt Dunlap, ME registration system webpages, and/or vote.gov. These government- Member -at-Large (ACR) backed websites will provide accurate information to the public, eliminating confusion and frustration in the voter registration process. As we have previously discussed, in the 2018 midterm election cycle, a non- government, third-party site failed to properly notify users of incomplete voter registration applications initiated through their site.

Weber Statement on Signing Bipartisan Letter to CISA Secretary Mayorkas and Acting Director Wales SACRAMENTO, CA – California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber issued the following statement on signing the letter to Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) requesting an expansion of federal efforts to combat foreign disinformation. "Democracy exists because we have free and fair elections, and we must protect those elections at all costs. In 2020, our local and state election officials worked tirelessly to combat the spread of mis- and disinformation perpetuated by foreign actors seeking to diminish trust in our elections." "Without CISA's leadership combating this threat at the federal level, we would not be able to call the 2020 General Election the most secure in our nation's history. For this reason, I gladly join my bipartisan colleagues in calling on CISA not only to continue this vital work but expand its efforts to combat the ongoing threat of foreign interference in our elections."

Governor; Jena Griswold, Colorado Secretary of State; Shenna Bellows, Maine Secretary of State; William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State; Maggie Toulouse Oliver, New Mexico Secretary of State; Shemia Fagan, Oregon Secretary of State; Nellie Gorbea, Rhode Island Secretary of State; Jim Condos, Vermont Secretary of State, and Kim Wyman, Washington Secretary of State.

Welcome 2016 Southwest Popular/American Culture Association Conference Bienvenidos a Albuquerque! Welcome to the 37th Annual Southwest Popular/American Culture Association Conference—we are so pleased that you have joined us. We look forward to sharing the week with the diverse group of scholars who join us here in Albuquerque this year. In addition to the full range of presentations and sessions taking place this week, we would like to highlight some opportunities for participants in the 2016 conference. We are in the second year of the Michael K. Schoenecke Leadership Institute, named in honor of one of the founders of the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association. The program serves as an opportunity for individuals interested in learning about the history of the SWPACA organization, its leadership, and the role the organization plays in promoting the study of popular/American culture. The Institute trains individuals in organizational responsibilities to prepare them for future leadership roles, and Institute Fellows shadow current leadership and contribute to organizational events and projects. Last year, Kathleen Lacey was our inaugural Institute Fellow, and the 2016 Fellows are Corinne Knight and Karina Vado. We will be introducing Corinne and Karina at several of our events, including the graduate student breakfast on Thursday morning, the Fire and Ice Reception on Thursday evening, and the Peter C. Rollins Book Awards and Tribute / Graduate Student Awards on Friday night.
